I took my chance in high school
She got drunk at some party
In the middle of the week
I didn't know she knew my name
Never talked grew up
On the same street
She was one of those untouchables
Every guy just afraid to ask
Every eye can't stop gazing
She walk past
She was standin close to me
I froze up inside
She leaned in and whispered
Took my hand led me outside
And every day after was like a dream
Where I won the perfect prize
Bigger than a cupie doll
Higher than the highest high
Men looked up to me
Teachers looked jealous
Boys amazed at me
I was one of the fellas
Before her I was a nothing
She made me what I am
We were the top of prom court
Most promising in the program
After high school we stuck together
She went to college I worked after
And there wasn't nothing I wouldn't do
And when the test came through
There wasn't anything I could do
Nothing I could do
And the sound of the beeping
In the hospital room
Made me madder than a hornet
Messed up crying in the bathroom
Only thing worse was when the beeping stopped
The beat just stopped
Just stopped
